The woman said she was home alone when she heard someone breaking into her home. A relative told Eyewitness News reporter Pooja Lodhia that the teens were hiding behind the victim's couch when one of them jumped up. That's when she shot the suspect in the head.

The suspect was taken by ambulance to Houston Northwest Hospital where LifeFlight then transported him to Memorial Hermann Hospital.

Deputies tell us that he is in critical condition and is expected to survive.
